Modeling Career Behind Her: Jumoke Onibredi Shares Journey Into Broadcasting

Published

on

Jumoke Onibredi, formerly known as Olajumoke Orisaguna, the Lagos-based bread seller who rose to fame in 2016, has made a career shift from modelling to broadcasting after facing a period of diminishing visibility.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

 

Onibredi first captured national attention when renowned photographer TY Bello spotted her while she was selling bread on the streets of Lagos, leading to a viral photo shoot. Her inspiring story of rising from humble beginnings to fame made headlines, landing her appearances on magazine covers and motivating many Nigerians.

However, after enjoying a brief period of success, Onibredi’s career took a downturn four years ago. She suffered a loss of fame and financial stability, partly due to being defrauded by her former manager, who misappropriated her earnings from various deals.

During a meet-and-greet event titled The Comeback of Olajumoke (Oni Bredi), organized by the Cardinal Foundation, Onibredi shared the painful details of her experience. She revealed that her manager had taken advantage of her, even taking her to South Africa for a documentary, where she ended up paying for the flights and accommodation, only to receive a mere N50,000 upon their return to Nigeria. Struggling financially, she found herself in a dire situation, relying on friends and supporters for basic needs.

“I lost everything. I had no money, no support. Aunty Azuka and TY Bello were my saviors,” she said, expressing her gratitude to those who helped her during this difficult time. Azuka Ogujiuba, CEO of Media Room Hub, paid her rent and sent regular financial assistance, while TY Bello also supported her financially.

Despite a strained relationship with Ogujiuba due to manipulation by her former manager, Onibredi acknowledged the immense help she received from both women, calling them her saving grace.

To help Onibredi rebuild her life, Ogujiuba connected her with Mrs. Adedoja Allen, CEO of City FM and founder of the Cardinal Foundation, who gave her an opportunity in broadcasting. Ogujiuba also revealed how he tried to bring Onibredi’s former manager to justice, though the legal case ultimately yielded no results.

Now, Onibredi is looking forward to her new career path, stepping into the world of broadcasting and leaving her modelling past behind.
